Silicon Valley On The Nile?

As further evidence of the importance of the creative industries to developing countries, 2010 UNDP Creative Economy report indicated that even during the recent global recession, annual growth rate of this sector averaged 14%. The firmness of market demand confirms that people are devoting a higher share of their income to life experiences, brands and well-designed consumables.

That is why in addition to arts and design educational efforts, government policies and support for infrastructure and modern ICT technologies are key for optimizing trade potential. New tools such as blogs, forums, and wikis facilitate connectivity and collaboration among creative people, products and places.

Many countries are also now heavily investing in “Creative Cities” which foster conditions to enable people to think, plan and act with imagination in harnessing opportunities or addressing seemingly intractable urban problems. In addition to hard infrastructure, to be a creative city, the soft infrastructure includes highly skilled and flexible labor force; dynamic thinkers, creators and implementers.

Creativity is not only about having ideas, but also the mind-set and capacity to implement them. The synergy of bringing together creative people physically and virtually will be realized for IADIC through strategically situating the IADIC facility in the Egypt’s own Silicon Valley.
